this help?
I think it more likely that the trip from Kenya actually occurred in August 1961, shortly after BHO-II's birth at the Coast Province General Hospital in Mombasa. Ann and her newborn son flew from Nairobi to London, via BOAC Flight BA162 and then took the non-stop BOAC flight from London to Vancouver, Canada. She then traveled the 110 miles or so, across the border, to Seattle in time to start Fall Semester, night-school extension classes at the University of Washington.
The trip would be challenging for a new mother, but she was young, healthy, intelligent, and capable. BOAC was very accomodating to mothers with young children back in the 1960s. No real problem!

I did a search on January 2007 nariobi shot, etc. and came up with two Missionaries that were killed during a car hijack. The one gal, “Mama” Lois Anderson had been in Kenya for years (she was 70+ when she was killed).
However, she was in Uganda in 1959-1962 as per the article I found. So probably outside the timeframe of when BO might have been there. Did not find anything about her assisting in the airplane ride, etc.:
********************************
« Everybody loved them — Lois particularly because she had such an outgoing personality, overflowing with joy, » said the Rev. Donald Dawson, director of both the New Wilmington conference and the World Mission Initiative at the Pittsburgh seminary.
They are a storied missionary family. Mr. Anderson was born in Egypt to missionary parents. He and his four siblings all became missionaries and many of their children and grandchildren have done likewise, Mr. Dawson added....
They were in Southern Sudan from 1952 to 1959, when foreign missionaries were expelled. They worked in Uganda from 1959 to 1962 and Kenya from 1962 to 1973. Then, in what they called « a miracle, » a new government of Sudan allowed them to return.
